    Connman is designed to be a "tethered hotspot" same as you'd have on a mobile phone. It should work fine for the use-case you described, but it creates a new routed subnet and cannot work as a bridge to the Ethernet network. If you really want/need a bridge, go buy a WiFi bridge.

    We have to go through some process to "unlist" ourselves or we wait until they just happen re-scan our corner of the interwebs and decide we're safe again. It's a thinly veiled scheme which herds you towards paying for a Norton Safe WebSeal thingy to promote you're scanned and clean. I'm personally okay with Norton users being inconvenienced by this. We are not going to waste funding on a webseal, and people might Google and find this thread where I post my ex-Symantec-employee comment about their ability to detect anything useful these days as "pretty low" and Norton junkware not being worth the exorbitant annual fee that's charged. Not that they are particularly unique in this; most AV suite tools are equally naff.

    We do publish checksum data (append ?mirrorlist to any download file URL or click the 'info' links on download pages) but that data comes from the same server as the files so fails the "could be tampered with test" and files are not served over https as we use mirrorbrain to geo-distribute downloads and avoid massive bandwidth/hosting charges - the mirrors you get files from are all http-only and outside our control. Signing is in the to-do list but I apologise and confess that rightly or wrongly it's not currently a high priority item in the list. We have quite a few other hosting/back-office things that need attention first but we'll get there eventually..

    Thanks for sharing the concern but it is a false positive. We use a packing tool to reduce .exe file sizes and because it is very efficient the same tool is also used by lots of bad people who write virus and trojan code. The packer leaves telltale signs in the exe and this sometimes triggers warnings in AV tools that aren't particularly clever (none of them are these days).

    I'm using the default power on/off button of a random IR6/MCE remote purchased off eBay. It works because the sensor integration is done properly on the Ultra2 board that I have (both vpeter and I have the same board). That said, I never really use suspend because it does full power on/off from the remote and the box boots in 10 seconds. Suspend has no real speed advantage so why bother with the extra complications it adds.

    I've posted the link to our internal dev team channel for add-ons but I'm not sure you'll get willing volunteers there. Normally the people that might care about SNMP support on a Kodi media box are also the type to roll up their sleeves and use their Linux skills to update things for LE (as that git repo hasn't been touched for a couple of years and things probably need revising). If someone does the work and would like to sustain the add-on in the long-term it can be PR'd to our git repo.

    OpenVPN does not need to be installed in LE (only in OE v6.0) and we do not provide any GUI add-ons for configuring VPN things. Thus the correct place to ask for support is the forum support thread for whatever {unknown} VPN configuration add-on you're using?
